À propos de cet audio

In the late 1800s, three sisters use witchcraft to change the course of history in this powerful novel of magic, family, and the suffragette movement.

In 1893, there's no such thing as witches. There used to be, in the wild, dark days before the burnings began, but now witching is nothing but tidy charms and nursery rhymes. If the modern woman wants any measure of power, she must find it at the ballot box.

But when the Eastwood sisters - James Juniper, Agnes Amaranth, and Beatrice Belladonna - join the suffragists of New Salem, they begin to pursue the forgotten words and ways that might turn the women's movement into the witch's movement. Stalked by shadows and sickness, hunted by forces who will not suffer a witch to vote - and perhaps not even to live - the sisters will need to delve into the oldest magics, draw new alliances, and heal the bond between them if they want to survive.

There's no such thing as witches. But there will be.

An homage to the indomitable power and persistence of women, The Once and Future Witches reimagines stories of revolution, motherhood, and women's suffrage - the lost ways are calling.

Praise for The Once and Future Witches:

"A gorgeous and thrilling paean to the ferocious power of women. The characters live, bleed, and roar. I adore them, and long for witchcraft to awaken in all of us. Harrow makes it feel possible, and even likely." (Laini Taylor, New York Times best-selling author)

"A glorious escape into a world where witchcraft has dwindled to a memory of women's magic, and three wild, sundered sisters hold the key to bring it back...A tale that will sweep you away." (Yangsze Choo, New York Times best-selling author)

"This book is an amazing bit of spellcraft and resistance so needed in our times, and a reminder that secret words and ways can never be truly and properly lost, as long as there are tongues to speak them and ears to listen." (P. Djèlí Clark, author The Black God's Drum)

The power of women.

Beautifully read. This may be my new favourite. A powerful novel that balances the story of magic with the will of a woman perfectly. I will gift it to my daughter's when they are a bit older.

Stick with it ...best ending I’ve ever read!

Beautiful story that resonates with how many movements of “togetherness” is has been happening in 2020/2021 ...
As a practicing pagan descendant from long line of Healers - I prefer modern day term “witch” this story really had my heart strings
I loved the nursery rhyme connection bc it definitely rings true. If you know you know ...
I found the book to drag a little in middle but I was so invested with the characters I had to forge. The last 4/5 chapters where brilliant with the epilogue most riveting...even though I knew where it would go it had me in tears mostly for all the pain women in general have had and still go thru today. ...
Loved how the author made this story a “true” representation of LOVE regardless of sex colour or religion or culture. Brilliant! ...def a enjoyable read.

Captivating in story and voice

I'm always looking for stories of magic and positive actions of rebellion against the Injustices of a world. These kinds of stories bring me hope, especially when they are inclusive of various types of people. As a white mid forties hetero man, I still relate to the main characters, just as I think anyone with empathy and an open mind would. I hope to enjoy many more books from this author, and many performances by this narrator.

Empowering, makes you believe in magic!

Excellent performance! I got teary eyes from feeling empowered more than once. Sometimes repetitive, but good!
